Guardian Peak
Guardian Peak wines were conceived in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht who combined his knowledge and understanding of international wine markets with his experience and involvement at his family wine estate Rust en Vrede in Stellenbosch. The objective was to create a range of wines that should be accessible to the consumer in both style and price. Grapes for Guardian Peak are sourced from the Breedekloof and Stellenbosch appellations where we enjoy long-term contracts with respected growers. More importantly we view our contracts as relationships whereby both parties bene t mutually. Two decades later and our beliefs remain to produce approachable sustainable wines of consistent quality allowing our consumer to experience value and enjoy them as often as we do.
Description
The SMG 2018 is bright ruby in colour. Vibrant red fruits are prominent on the nose. Red currant and juicy cranberries are accompanied by complex spicy notes of cardamom, bay leaf and liquorice. Expressive red fruit follows through on the palate, along with blueberries, blackberries and the smokiness of cured meat. A lovely tension between supple tannins and fresh acidity makes this wine a pleasure to drink.
Food Pairing
Grilled beef sirloin with gaufrette potatoes, soft poached egg and mushroom.
